Adopt A Pet from the Lassen

County Animal Shelter – Spumoni


Hey! I’m Spumoni – your next best friend!


I’m a 2-year-old American Bully with a BIG personality packed into my short, solid frame (yep, over 55 pounds of pure charm). I’m neutered, up to date on all my shots, heartworm negative, and most importantly—ready to bring a whole lot of fun and love into your life!


I’m kind of a goofball, if I’m being honest. I’ve got a knack for making people laugh with my silly antics and over-the-top personality.

When visitors come by the kennels, I make sure to put on a show—because why not? Life’s too short not to have a little fun.


I’d be happiest as the only pet in the house (I like to soak up ALL the attention) and would do best with someone who knows their way around us bully breeds. I promise to fill your days with smiles, tail wags, and plenty of unforgettable moments.


So, what do you say? Ready for a daily dose of laughter and love? I’m waiting to meet you.


Please contact the Lassen County Animal Shelter with questions/inquiries at 1.530.257.9200.


Featured animals at the Lassen County Animal Shelter are available for adoption on a first-come-first-serve basis. According to California law, all adoptable dogs and cats must be spayed and neutered before leaving our facility. If interested in adopting an animal, please contact the shelter directly.


Current shelter hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. Closed Saturday and Sunday. You can contact the shelter at 530.257.9200.

Since being accepted the performers have been tasked with raising the money to pay for transportation, hotel rooms and better uniforms. There are several ways you can help the young percussionists get to the Magic Kingdom, including this link to a GoFundMe account setup for the drumline.

“The community is really coming together in a way I would never have expected,” says Drumline Director Ben Wade. “It’s truly heartwarming to see people supporting the arts in a big way.”


This Thursday evening, February 27th, at 6:00 the LHS Drumline will be presenting a special performance in the high school’s gym. Ticket’s are $10 each and include not only the concert, but a baked potato dinner and a silent auction and raffle.


You can pick up tickets at Margie’s Book Nook and through VENMO – just show your reciept at the door.


The Drumline will also hold a bake sale at Safeway, in the Sierra Shopping Center, March 1st from 10:00a.m. until 2:00p.m.

Making Improvements at the Lassen Fairgrounds Racetrack

February 24, 1976


Getting Track in Shape. Members of the Sierra Racing Association with cooperation from the Lassen County Fair Board and help form the Susanville office of California National Guard among others, are working hard the next several weeks to make the track at the fairgrounds better than ever for the 1976 season.


According to spokeswoman Pat McPherson “We are packing clay on the track in able to have a good running surface.” The National Guard, with Dennis Thompson (pictured above) driving caterpillar is providing much of the labor. A caterpillar has also been donated by the 44 Ranch, Elysian Valley, with Ken Goforth doing the driving.


Volunteers Bob Reuck, Don Vache and John Bertanelli have been donating their time and dump trucks to haul the clay in and Leroy Jacobs has donated a loader and grader. The clay is also being donated.


Mrs. McPherson said that construction is expected to be completed by the second week in February. The races are scheduled to start in early April.


“The Lassen County Fair Board has agreed to maintain the track, once it is fixed up,” explained Mrs. McPherson.


The Sierra Racing Association is currently looking for new members.
